The process of breaking down food to create energy is called digestion. Digestion is necessary for other biological processes, such as movement and growth, to occur.
Not sure if that person's answer would answer your question but it sure as heck didn't answer mine... so I looked it up. The answer you might be looking for is binary fission. Not 100% sure though so don't be mad if i'm wrong. -_-
cellular respiration
The process of breaking down food to release energy is called cellular respiration. It involves a series of biochemical reactions that occur within cells to convert nutrients from food into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cell. This process typically involves three main stages: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Through these stages, the energy stored in food molecules is gradually released and converted into a form that cells can use for various functions.
Breaking down of macromolecules into small particles is called a catabolic process. In any catabolic process there is a release of energy. Anabolic reaction combines small particles into a macro molecule and energy is conserved in such a process.
The mitochondria releases energy from food molecules. This is where all things are broken down and turned into energy for the cell.

Metabolism
Metabolism
The process of breaking down food so we can absorb it is called digestion. Releasing the energy by breaking it down further in our cells is respiration.
Digestion breaks down food into energy.
The digestive system has primary responsibility for breaking down food.
The breaking down of glucose into usable energy.
Digestion.
Catabolism
The process of breaking down food to its building blocks is called digestion. We can then absorb the products and use them in our bodies.
